Marc Márquez He has been living through an ordeal for the last three years. Four operations on his arm, a reproduction of his old double vision injury, and multiple lost runs. He is finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, but he has confessed that he did not want to get on a motorcycle again after his accident in Indonesia.
In a documentary on the British channel ‘BT Sport’, the ’93’ confessed the bad experience he lived after his serious fall in Mandalika this season, in which he went over his bike and landed hard on the ground, reproducing the double vision he suffered some time ago.
“From the moment I started flying to the end, I do not remember anything“, recognized the ilerdense of a fall that left him without running two races.
In addition, Márquez recognized how difficult it was to get back on the bike: “After an accident like this it is true that, being human beings, you do not want to get on the motorcycle again. However, at that point is where your professionalism begins, not your passion. Yes, I had double vision, but my head and body were fine. That’s when you feel protected by Alpinestars and Shoei (his brands of suit and helmet respectively) and that gives you the security to get back on the bike and regain confidence step by step.”
Happy with the decision to undergo surgery, doubts about his future
Fortunately, Márquez was able to recover from double vision with some ease and made the decision to undergo surgery, again, on his right humerus to rotate it and recover its natural position, a choice that he ensures was the right one: “We made the right decision because in the first part of the season I had a lot of problems. In recent races I have always started from the front row, so the speed is there. Even if there isn’t a win, there has been progress and that’s what matters.”
“I can’t wait to see what my maximum level will be this winter because it is unknown. This winter I want to surpass this small physical milestone. I will have to work specifically on the weaker muscles so that the shoulder-arm balance is good. The bike is the second objective”, he concluded.
